Thread: Sand dune flag: Any alternatives?

Squid Pole is by far the best. About $20-30 at any good fishing shop (and probably the bad ones as well)

If you have a roof rack a biclycle flag would work, have used them on ATV's in the past without problems.

Mate of mine went through the simpson, canning etc, with a telescopiic fishing rod with a flag on it (attached to his roof rack). I think he had to superglue the sections together to get it to stay up on the corrugations.

I bought a elcheepo multi piece (3 piece surf rod) fishing rod from KMart, race taped an orange flag from an old bike flag to top, removed the line guides etc, and race taped the bottom section to my front bar. I left the bottom section attached to the bar for the trip, just removed the two extensions when not needed. I think the exercise cost about $20. It is about somewhere.....

i used my UHF antenna, funny thing was i went to a heap of trouble getting a flag made up with 43 on the side only to discover at the edge of the simpson desert it was still sitting on the kitchen fridge

Great replies! I'll post some pics after our trip down (up?) Goog's Track..

Went to Rays outdoors (any camping store will do) bought 4 piece carbon tent pole $14, its hollow so threaded shot cord through the centre, $1.60. Bunting flags on top. Cheap, light weight, strong, small pack. Mounted to bullbar with 2 hose clamps.

On an impromptu o-night to Poepple Corner i used an extendable tent pole stuck into the ladder rack holder on the bullbar with one of my 18 mth olds red t-shirts taped to the top.
